Place was nice and well equipped and lots for the kids. No cleaning fee as it is upto the occupiers to clean after stay, which we didnt mind doing, however the place was very dusty and most rooms needed a good deep clean, every dish we used had not been cleaned properly so doesnt seem like this may be the best way to approach this booking.

Lovely, clean property with all the amenities you could hope for for a family holiday..We were there for a couple of nights, which could have been extended with ease.Only comment that may be of use for those with mobility or sight issues (we had elderly relatives visit) is that like many baches, the floor was uneven and may be a trip hazard. This is unlikely to be a big issue for families with active kids who will enjoy this property and all it offers.Would definitely rebook if revisiting Foxton Beach.
